This video represents an individual clinician experience with and methodology for using EXPAREL.
Pacira BioSciences, Inc., recognizes that there are other methodologies for administering local anesthetics, as well as individual patient considerations, when selecting the dose for a specific procedure.

- Reduced healthcare costs4
Clinical data support the use of EXPAREL

Transversus abdominis plane block with liposomal bupivacaine for pain after cesarean delivery in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial
Leading medical societies recommend opioid-minimizing pain management strategies to enhance recovery after obstetric and gynecologic procedures
ACOG6
- A stepwise, multimodal pain management strategy, including local anesthetics delivered by wound infiltration or TAP block, is recommended to control pain and minimize opioid administration
- Postoperative minimization of opioid use reduces nausea and vomiting, impairment of bowel function, delayed mobilization, and pulmonary morbidity
SOAP1
- Multimodal analgesia, including wound infiltration or regional blocks (eg, TAP block), should be used to reduce pain, improve mobilization, reduce opioid use in the hospital after discharge, and decrease opioid side effects
SGO7
- Advocate for the goal of reducing opioid misuse, and optimizing availability and use of non-opioid methods of pain control
ERAS2
- Avoiding opioid use within a multimodal postoperative analgesia pathway, with greater emphasis on non-opioid medications such as liposomal bupivacaine, can improve patient experience and functional recovery after surgery
